‘Stop this Madness’ Editor: Opposing the Terra-Gen wind project is not NIMBYism, unless you regard the entire planet as Humboldt’s backyard (NCJ Daily, May 30).

The wind generators do not reduce CO2 emissions, they merely produce electricity.

In their construction, they not only generate greenhouse gas but also damage our terrestrial carbon sinks, the forests and the soils.

India’s temperature hit 123.4 degrees on June 1. We need to stop this madness.

People are quite capable of initiating mandatory conservation: We have done it many times before in our history. And we need to restrain our runaway military, the world’s largest single emitter of greenhouse gases.

It just takes political action!

add one to the list, the proposed wind turbine “farm” by Terra-Gen (NCJ Daily, May 30). This project would erect 60 wind turbines along the top of Bear and Monument Ridges.

Meanwhile, the Cher-Ae Heights Rancheria is asking the Coastal Commission to allow it to build a 100-unit, five-story hotel that would dominate the landscape and wreak havoc with Trinidad’s water supply, traffic, etc. (“Got Water?” May 16).

Most of us remember the massive damage caused to our watersheds, logging and fisheries industries by Maxxam back in the 1990s, before it declared bankruptcy.

These are all large-scale projects that mostly profit their corporate boards, consolidating more and more wealth into fewer and fewer hands. Instead of serving a wide base of residents and ensuring a future healthy Humboldt, they take more than they give and, when they leave, it is us who pay the consequences.

This type of development model parlays the downsides into the future instead of honestly addressed them up front, giving citizens and our elected officials a chance to make better informed decisions.

We can develop Humboldt County with a green future in view. It just takes leadership and a commitment to our grandchildren and our animal neighbors.

FORTUNA 725-9391

ive me the restless power of the wind,” wrote lyricist John Hall in an anthem about renewable energy popularized

by Peter, Paul and Mary. The phrase evokes sails billowing in the wind, or maybe a cooling breeze on a hot summer’s day. But in reality, wind energy on a scale large enough to power an entire community requires an industrial facility with machinery, roads and dozens of turbines that can stand up to 600 feet tall — and a lot of land or ocean water — to site them on.

This reality has been brought home to Humboldt County residents by several proposed wind energy projects over the past decade. The first, the Shell Bear River Ridge wind energy project, was soundly nixed by residents when they learned that over-sized trucks would be traveling through downtown Ferndale. Last month, a plan to bring offshore wind energy ashore was denounced by fishermen, who pointed out that large portions of the area’s fisheries might be made unavailable to the local fleet. The most recent wind

energy proposal, brought forward by the San Diego-based Terra-Gen, which has already placed hundreds of wind turbines in Kern County, was discussed on May 28 at a public gathering in Ferndale’s Old Steeple.

The project, if approved by the county’s planning commission, will place up to 60 wind turbines on top of two prominent ridges — Bear River Ridge and Monument Ridge, located south and east of Fortuna. It is being opposed by many members of the environmental community, the Wiyot Tribe and some local residents concerned about the project’s effects on their viewshed.

Terra-Gen project liaison Natalynne DeLapp, who formerly served as executive director of the Environmental Protection Information Center and currently works as operations director of the Humboldt County Growers Alliance, outlined the proposed facility and the mitigations the company is prepared to make to reduce its likely impacts.

Approximately 100 people filled the stained-glass-decorated interior of the

former church and, judging from the tenor of the questions and remarks, many were not happy with the project. Aided

by Stantec Consulting Services senior biologist Yasmine Akky and Terra-Gen director of permitting Kevin Martin, DeLapp gave a 40-minute presentation on the project plans, using numerous slides, armloads of statistics and referring frequently to the project’s lengthy Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).

The project, DeLapp said, is designed to reduce California’s dependence on natural gas and reach the goal of 100-percent renewable energy by 2045. Humboldt currently buys about 65 percent of its electricity from the grid and produces the rest locally, mostly through the natural gas-powered Humboldt Bay Power Plant, though Redwood Coast Energy Authority has adopted the goal of the county attaining all its power through renewable energy by 2025. It could purchase the renewable energy from other providers throughout the state or buy some from the Terra-Gen project, if it is approved and built.

DeLapp said Terra-Gen selected Humboldt County because it is windy, has available substations “and the ability to get permitted.” Rainbow Ridge and Shively Ridge were initially considered but ultimately rejected because of too many biological impacts. Monument Ridge and Bear River Ridge are owned by Humboldt Redwood Company and Russ Ranches, which are both willing to sign leases with Terra-Gen. The project is designed to produce 155 megawatts of energy. Because the wind blows irregularly, the turbines will only operate about 40 percent of the time and the electricity they produce would be plugged into the grid at the Bridgeville substation, 24 miles to the east of the project site. Power loss along the transmission lines would reduce the wattage to 135 megawatts, which is the maximum capacity the Bridgeville substation can handle. This, DeLapp said, eliminates the possibility of expanding the wind project at some later date.

She estimated that the project could supply 36 percent of the county’s electricity needs, but less than 1 percent of those of the entire state. It would, however, make Terra-Gen the second largest taxpayer in Humboldt County.

If the project is approved, the turbine components will be barged in through Humboldt Bay to Fields Landing, where they will be transferred to large trucks and driven down U.S. Highway 101 to an area near Redcrest, called Jordan Creek Road.

Old logging roads would be re-built to bring the project traffic to the ridge tops.

DeLapp showed visual simulations of what the turbine-festooned ridge tops would look like from different vantages 5 to 7 miles away. From many of the viewing sites, the turbines were invisible. From others, they showed as faint outlines against the sky.

There are still many unknowns about the project, even though the DEIR has already been written, including the exact locations of the turbines, the number of turbines, and their heights and sizes.

DeLapp emphasized that the DEIR had been written to address the maximum possible impacts, even though it was unlikely that those would be reached.

A great many questions were asked at the meeting, many of them having to do with the project’s effects upon the plants and wildlife on the ridges. Monument Ridge is heavily forested and Bear River Ridge is open grassland that supports many raptors.

Marbled murrelets, an endangered

species, could be impacted, as could northern spotted owls, bald eagles, golden eagles, bats and a variety of other organisms, including condors, once they are reintroduced locally.

Akky estimated that 20 murrelets could be killed over the estimated 30-year life of the project. She said that mitigations have been created to compensate for these losses, both of the murrelets and of Continued on next page »

other wildlife, and they were described in the DEIR but did not detail the mitigations.

DeLapp pointed out that the land had been used by both Pacific Lumber Co. and by cattle ranchers and is consequently far from pristine. One could also argue that trees growing on land owned by a timber company will not stand indefinitely.

Other questions were asked about the economics of the project, which will cost about $200 million, according to DeLapp and Martin, paid for by Terra-Gen’s parent company, Energy Capital Partners, an asset management company.

“The only public funding would come in the form of a tax write-off to the company on the gains,” DeLapp said.

Martin added that Terra-Gen did not get any funding from PG&E. “We write checks to them,” he said.

It’s also worth noting that nobody in Humboldt would see a reduction in their PG&E bill as a result of the Terra-Gen project.

These economics aside, an audience member asked how much would it cost to install solar panels on every rooftop in Humboldt County.

“I did the math on this the other day,” DeLapp said. “One-hundred-thirty-five megawatts, which is what this project is, that’s 135 million watts. The average home solar system is about 7,000 watts … 19,285 homes would need to install a 7,000 watt solar system on their roof. On the average, a home solar system costs about $15,000 before tax credits. So if these 19,000 individuals installed these solar systems, it would cost those people $289,275,000.”

(The Board of Equalization shows 35,845 single-family residential homes in Humboldt County, which would make putting solar panels on every Humboldt County rooftop cost about twice what

DeLapp said.)

Questions were also asked about roads.

Martin explained that a 200-foot corridor would be cleared to permit roadways to be built but that the actual paved roads would be 24 feet wide. No herbicides would be used to keep the corridors cleared, he said.

The project would bring about 300 temporary construction jobs into the county but only 15 permanent jobs, and these would go to skilled workers who are experienced with wind turbine operations, and would likely be brought in from other areas.

Some audience members asked questions about the tax credits that would be lost or diminished if the project were to be delayed. At first DeLapp insisted that a delay would not hurt the project. Tax credits, she said, would be diminished but not lost altogether.

“The project is still financially viable if it does not begin construction this year. It is not such a flimsy project that it would be immediately stopped,” she said.

However, toward the end of the meeting, to get a definitive answer Martin phoned Terra-Gen’s vice president of development, and came up with a more ambiguous answer.

“Nothing has to be started this year to receive the tax credit,” he said. “If it is not operational by the end of next year, this drops off. ... So does it not get built?

Absolutely not. We take other routes.”

Since the project, according to DeLapp, will take 14 months to construct and the project “would need to be transmitting electrons by December 2020”, construction would have to begin this October to make that deadline.

DeLapp clarified after the meeting that the project would still move forward if

the company misses the tax-credit deadline but would be more expensive and those costs would ultimately be passed on to energy customers.

At several different times, audience members asked why a project, which would have such a small net contribution to California’s energy needs, should be allowed to have such major impacts on Humboldt’s ranges and ridges. Project proponents replied that this is a social question and urged the audience to make comments to the Planning Commission, which will review the project in July.

In the meantime, anyone willing to sift through the 800-page DEIR to find answers to their questions, can find the document at www.humboldtgov.org/2408/ Humboldt-Wind-EnergyProject.

Julie Benbow Tapped to Head Visitor’s Bureau After Supes Extend Contract

T

he Humboldt County Visitors Bureau’s board of directors has named Julie Benbow the tourism organization’s interim executive director.

Benbow steps into the role Tony Smithers held for decades until his unexpected death in January. And the board’s announcement comes on the heels of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors’ unanimous vote May 28 to extend the county’s contract with the bureau for another two years.

The board’s vote was a huge win for the bureau, as staff had recommended the board weigh continuing to give the bureau more than $350,000 annually to market Humboldt County against putting those funds out in a competitive request for proposals process. The city of Eureka took that step earlier this year and has since opted to spend its roughly $370,000 in annual marketing funds with another firm.

Two finalists — Humboldt Made and Eddy Alexander, based in Virginia — had been under consideration until Tuesday when the selection process took a major turn following recent revelations that city staff had repeatedly and materially misrepresented key facts about the bid process to both the public and the city council.

the issue May 28, it initially appeared the board was seriously considering moving away from the bureau, with Supervisor Estelle Fennell suggesting just a six-month contract, which would have allowed the bureau to continue marketing the county through tourism season but given the board the flexibility to go in a different direction before next year. Supervisor Virginia Bass seconded Fennell’s motion but said she’d like to see the contract extended a bit longer, pointing out that the bureau has been in “turmoil” since Smithers’ unexpected death.

Supervisor Steve Madrone then voiced strong support for the bureau, saying he’d like to see it given another two years — enough time for it to regroup and develop a plan to work closely with other organizations and the county. Supervisor Rex Bohn liked the idea.

“You guys know I always agree with Supervisor Madrone,” he quipped. “Jesus, this is going to be tough: He nailed it. ... I think (the bureau) got a wake-up call and what you’re going to do is have an invigorated visitors bureau.”

y and large, growers are a proud bunch. If you’ve spent much time hanging out with Humboldt County cultivators, you’ve almost assuredly been treated to ribbing — most of it good natured, some of it not — about who grows the best weed and whose thumb is, well, the dankiest.

Well, by the time you read this, with little fanfare outside the industry, one of the most prestigious farming competitions on the West Coast will be underway, seeking to scientifically answer that query.

The Grow-Off, which started in Colorado and touts itself as “the Iron Chef of weed,” officially kicked off Wednesday in Humboldt County. But this isn’t your typical cannabis competition. Instead of convening a group of enthusiasts to cluster in a smoke-clouded room and puff joint after joint after joint, stuffed with a variety of strains, somehow filling out score sheets through the haze, the Grow-Off tries to put everyone on an equal footing.

Just as the Iron Chef pits culinary whizzes against one another to make the most of a single, surprise ingredient, the GrowOff starts by giving all competing farmers plants with the exact same genetics. Each farmer gets two identical clones and then has the entire season to work his or her magic, turning those little clones into the best possible versions of themselves.

After harvest, the farmers then submit samples that, rather than being turned to smoke in one giant judgmental session, are sent to a scientific laboratory, where they tested for terpenes and cannabinoids.

Those results are coupled with a weigh-in to gauge the highest yield and whoever scores highest in all three categories takes home the prize.

But the competition is about more than just glory and a bit of prize cash, it also

northcoastjournal.com/boh2019 asks farmers to record data throughout the season, aiming to discover what variables impact the selected strain’s growth either negatively or positively.

And there’s a decidedly local aspect to this year’s event. You may recall the Journal’s March 21 cover story, “Finding a Unicorn: Humboldt Growers Collaborate in a Quest to Find Superior Cannabis Genetics,” which detailed a collaborative effort to plant 10,000 different cannabis strains in an effort to find unique cultivars.

Well, this year’s Grow-Off is featuring a “unique” strain from the project, which was spearheaded by Humboldt Seed Co. and HendRx Farm, a clone nursery based in McKinleyville.

The hunt saw plants grown from seeds long tucked away in sock drawers and hidden compartments, or brought back from Jamaica, while others were crosses or modifications of popular strains, in a virtual cannabis buffet. It also yielded some strains that have since become popular — like Vanilla Frosting and Magic Melon.

But exactly what’s going to be the focus of this year’s Grow-Off has been a tightly held secret — one that was to be unveiled June 5, just after this edition of the Journal went to press, when growers from around the area were expected to convene at a “clone adoption ceremony” in McKinleyville. The 300 registered teams in the Northern California competition — which includes counties from the Bay Area north — will receive two genetically identical clones. They’ll then have six months to prove their thumb is, in fact, the very dankiest of them all. ● Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor.

‘A COMEDY OF ERRORS’ How misinformation ‘plagued’ Eureka’s bid to market itself

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

W

hen the city of Eureka took the bold step in February of putting out a request for proposals for a lucrative marketing contract — one that for decades had been given to a single organization — the request itself outlined a bold vision.

Referencing the council’s 2018 strategic visioning session, the request noted that the council had identified public perception as one of the city’s biggest challenges, noting there is a “negative public narrative” and the “phenomenon that ‘what you focus on is what you see.’”

“These are serious challenges in Eureka, where the local media, local residents, members of the business community and residents of nearby communities too often focus deeply and exclusively on Eureka’s darkest corners,” the RFP states. “While things are getting better in this regard over the past year, the city needs help with shinning (sic) a spotlight on Eureka’s assets (and enhancing Eureka’s assets) so that we all ‘focus on’ and ‘see’ a better Eureka.”

The city’s Community Development Department was making clear that this RFP — looking to find someone to enter into a $370,000 annual contract to market the city — was a vast departure in approach.

While the Eureka-Humboldt Visitors Bureau had made the redwoods the cornerstone of its marketing campaigns for decades, the city was now looking to bet on itself, making sure Eureka was the centerpiece of its funded marketing efforts. But even more, the city was looking for a process and a firm that would make Eurekans and Humboldters see the city in a new light, make them focus on the positive.

Four months later, it can be fairly said that the process of awarding that contract

has done anything but improve the city’s image. Instead of being a celebration of Eureka and a vetting of ideas on how it can turn its best face toward the world, the process has been dominated by controversy and “plagued by misinformation,” as the City Manager’s Office put it in a June 3 press release. Even before a Journal inquiry led City Attorney Bob Black to determine city staff had provided misinformation to the public and the council, and the process had potentially caused “significant exposure to litigation,” some in the local marketing and tourism industries were already questioning if the procedure for handling the proposals was above board.

Then, after being briefed in closed session by Black as the Journal went to press June 4, the council voted in closed session to go against what staff had strongly recommended just a couple of weeks earlier, disqualifying a local organization’s proposal and directing the city manager to negotiate the contract with a national firm based in Virginia. Both decisions will come back before the council in the form of resolutions June 18.

During a tense Eureka City Council

meeting May 21, members of the council lamented that what they deemed a flawed process used to select finalists for the marketing contract had broken the public’s trust.

Things have since gone from bad to worse amid new revelations, including that staff repeatedly and materially misrepresented key facts about how the process played out.

The council’s June 4 closed session votes bring a jarring end to the problematic request for proposal process that just weeks earlier had led to staff recommending the council award the marketing

contract to Humboldt Made, which already runs the Eureka Visitors Center, over the nationally acclaimed Virginia firm Eddy Alexander. The council had already pumped the breaks May 21, opting to hold off on awarding the contract and to instead conduct another round of interviews with the two finalists, this time with marketing experts and a couple council members on the interview panel.

But after last month’s vote, the Journal learned that staff had repeatedly provided inaccurate information to the public — and the council at the May 21 meeting — about problems with Humboldt Made’s initial proposal submittal and that of another firm that didn’t make the final cut. The problems were in fact so substantial that City Manager Greg Sparks said prior to the June 4 meeting that, knowing what he’d learned, he felt Humboldt Made’s proposal should have been rejected and not considered.

He quickly added that he didn’t want to get out in front of the city attorney’s closed session presentation on the findings of an internal review of the matter and legal ramifications for the city.

At the heart of the matter is the question of whether Humboldt Made submitted its proposal complete and on time, and, if not, whether that “irregularity” was something that should be considered nonmaterial — the kind of thing that could be waived while maintaining a fair process — or substantive enough that it gave the firm a competitive advantage.

The city’s request for proposals asked

interested firms to submit both a digital copy and 10 paper copies of their proposals by the close of business April 5 and warned “any proposals received by the city after the hour and date shall be rejected and returned unopened.” The RFP document also includes a disclaimer that the city “further reserves the right at any time and for any reason to … alter this RFP if the conditions so dictate.”

The first hint that anything unusual might have occurred with Humboldt Made’s proposal came in a May 14 story by the Lost Coast Outpost, which reported on a string of text messages between Eureka Community Development Services Director Rob Holmlund and Humboldt Made Executive Director Alanna Powell that the website had obtained through a California Public Records Request. (The texts actually came as part of three requests submitted to the city by two anonymous email addresses in early April that requested a host

“The city needs help with shinning (sic) a spotlight on Eureka’s assets (and enhancing Eureka’s assets) so that we all ‘focus on’ and ‘see’ a better Eureka.” of documents, including texts and emails associated with Powell and Holmlund. It’s unclear how the website learned of the requests.)

As first reported by the Outpost, on Sunday, April 7 — two days after the

city’s deadline for marketing proposals — Powell texted Holmlund to say that the firm’s “final version of the proposal was unfortunately not the copy that was sent to the printer.” It seems, due to a staff error, the firm had inadvertently printed a rough draft and submitted it to the city.

In his reply, Holmlund asked if Humboldt Made submitted the correct digital version and Powell told him she was having a staff member check.

The exchange is brief but Holmlund does not indicate the submittal error might be disqualifying, and Powell never responds to confirm whether staff submitted the correct digital version.

When asked about this exchange by the Outpost, Holmlund, Sparks and Powell all reportedly said Humboldt Made had submitted the correct draft electronically by deadline so the city deemed the application complete — despite the error — and allowed Humboldt Made to resubmit paper copies on Monday, April 8.

Councilmember Kim Bergel questioned Holmlund about this during the May 21 meeting.

“When the proposals were submitted, I was working on a Sunday on the zoning code and got a text from the director of the visitor’s center,” Holmlund said. “It said, ‘One of my staff submitted the wrong copy of the proposal.’ I asked (Development Services Deputy Director Lane Millar) to look into it and there was a duplicate page so I said, ‘Just resubmit.’ And so I think Lane talked to the city manager as well. So they resubmitted, and so did another firm …”

Bergel then asked if it was just the duplicate page that changed between the two print submittals or if any of the other content changed. Holmlund then deferred to Millar, saying he “handled this process” and was thus better suited to answering the question.

“It was simply replacing the page with what should have been there,” Millar said.

“There were no changes in any of the details … as far as changing words or anything like that?” Bergel asked.

“The page in question did have content,” Millar answered, again implying that the only issue was the duplicate page, which took the place of a page that should have been there.

In an interview with the Journal days after the council meeting, Holmlund repeated this characterization, saying he never saw the original version but Millar told him the issue was limited to the duplicate page and that Humboldt Made

had submitted its correct digital proposal by the April 5 deadline. Holmlund said the other firm referenced during the council meeting — which the Journal has since

“I asked (Development Services Deputy Director Lane Millar) to look into it and there was a duplicate page so I said, ‘Just resubmit.’” learned was Vessel Strategy, a New York firm — didn’t have an error but just missed the deadline entirely.

Holmlund stressed in the interview that he felt the most important thing was getting the best possible proposals to make sure the city’s $370,000 in annual marketing money was well spent. He also pointed to the city’s procurement policy, which allows the city’s “purchasing agent, at his or her sole discretion,” to “wave inconsequential irregularities in bids received.”

Around the same time, Sparks told the Journal essentially the same thing, saying it was his understanding that the issue with Humboldt Made’s proposal was limited to the single page and that the correct electronic version had been submitted on time. He said he deemed it to be a “minor correction” and also stressed that he felt it important to bring the best possible proposals to council.

On May 24, the Journal reached out to Black, the city attorney, hoping to get his impression of the seemingly contradictory clauses in the RFP and the city procurement policy, and whether he deemed this all to be inconsequential.

“I haven’t been asked this question and I would need to take a look at the specific language in the RFP,” Black said. He provided the Journal an update later in the day, saying “this question requires digging deeper” and he would be in touch.

A week later, on May 31, Black told the Journal there are a number of issues at play. First, he said, the city’s procurement policy does allow for the “purchasing agent” to issue waivers in limited circumstances. However, in this case, because the city is considering awarding a contract of more than $100,000, it’s the city council, not staff, that is the official purchasing agent, meaning the council would have to formally issue the waiver for Humboldt Continued on page 15 »

BEST OPTOMETRY OFFICE Made. But that’s fixable, Black said. If the council had decided to move forward with Humboldt Made, Black said there wouldn’t have been anything to prevent it from simply voting to approve the waiver before voting to enter into a contract.

But there were potentially more substantial issues with Humboldt Made’s submittal.

“In respect to Humboldt Made, they did not have an electronic submittal on Friday the fifth,” Black said. “There was an understanding that the electronic submittal was made but, upon investigation, that did not turn out to be the case.”

Black also indicated city staff went through both paper submittals — the one received April 5 and the one received April 8 — side by side to see if any changes were made. Sparks said he reviewed that work and there were, in fact, changes made throughout Humboldt Made’s entire proposal.

“It was more extensive than just replacing a duplicate page,” Sparks said. “As I read through them, it really looked like the Friday copy was a draft that had, I wouldn’t necessarily say typos, but the copy submitted on Monday had been cleaned up. For example, the abbreviation ‘HM’ had been changed to ‘Humboldt Made’ and a few paragraphs had undergone a little bit more significant rewrites.”

Sparks said none of the prices, numbers or main points of the proposal changed, but it appeared the draft submitted Monday had gone through an editing process and “was just kind of better.”

And this mostly aligns with what Powell texted Holmlund on April 7. (Attempts to reach Holmlund to comment on the most recent developments in this story were unsuccessful, as were attempts to reach Millar.) As to whether there was even a duplicate page in what Humboldt Made initially submitted, that remains unclear, as the Journal has received contradictory statements on the matter from both Humboldt Made and city staff.

Reached on May 31, Powell said the print copies her staff submitted April 5 were from a rough draft from a couple of weeks earlier. The final draft — which everyone involved had signed off on — was completed by the April 5 deadline, she said, and was a superior draft.

Powell said she never represented to anyone in city staff that the issue was limited to a single page and doesn’t know

where that story came from.

“My correspondence with the city on submitting our actual final version was very much presented in text message,” she said. “(The duplicate page story) did spark a little curiosity in me, that it was so clean,

“Did I go to city staff and say, ‘Hey guys, I think there were other grammatical errors and other things that were clearly a draft version,’ no I didn’t. Should I have? Sure.” because I knew it was a third draft and just to cite that it was a duplicate page, yeah, that did not settle well with me. Did I go to city staff and say, ‘Hey guys, I think there were other grammatical errors and other things that were clearly a draft version,’ no I didn’t. Should I have? Sure.”

Informed that the city is now saying it did not receive any digital version of Humboldt Made’s proposal by the April 5 deadline, Powell indicated that was distressing.

“I was told by my staff that we had submitted it,” she said.

City staff also misrepresented what happened with Vessel Strategy’s submittal when pointing to it as evidence that Humboldt Made wasn’t the only firm granted a waiver and allowed to submit materials late. While staff repeatedly indicated Vessel Strategy had simply missed the deadline and asked to submit the following Monday, Black said his review indicates Vessel submitted its printed copies of the proposal by deadline Friday but hadn’t uploaded the electronic copy. He said Vessel’s electronic copy was uploaded April 8.

Black said the report he was drafting at the time to present to the city council in closed session June 4 would include “the facts and the legal standard against which they must judge” them.

“The legal standard that we’re looking for is did it give one proposer a competitive advantage and, if so, the irregularity would not be considered a minor matter,” he said. “It would put it out of bounds for a waiver.”

This all raises the question of how city staff could have made these incorrect statements, all of which served to minimize the impact of Humboldt Made’s errors in the submittal process. Asked directly if he felt staff had willfully misrepresented the situation to the public and the council, Continued on next page »

Sparks said he did not.

“I really don’t believe there was a willful misrepresentation,” he said. “I think it was unfortunately just a comedy of errors. It seems like one error built upon another.”

Bergel similarly told the Journal she’s disappointed but doesn’t believe she was lied to.

“I find it really hard to believe that our staff would intentionally deceive the public or the council,” she said. “I find that hard to believe because I believe in our staff. I believe in their integrity.”

The process has also left some associated with Humboldt Made feeling aggrieved.

Don Banducci, who served as Humboldt Made’s lead copywriter on the proposal, said he has issues with how the interview process was carried out. He said when three firms — Eddy Alexander, Humboldt Made and MC2 out of Chico — were deemed finalists and asked to come in for interviews with the panel, the other two were told to prepare a 15-minute presentation and provided 10 questions the panel would ask. Humboldt Made was given the questions, Banducci said, but not asked to prepare a presentation.

“We sit down and the panel is sitting there looking at us,” Banducci recalled.

“Lane says, ‘Well, do you need a computer or something for your presentation.’ Rob kind of chimes in and says, ‘Yeah, you’re supposed to have a PowerPoint summarizing your proposal.’ Lane looks sick, Rob looks right at Lane, Lane looks at Rob and there’s this long silence.”

Banducci said he and Powell did their best to talk off the cuff for a handful of minutes but left feeling they’d been put at a disadvantage. According to Banducci, Holmlund later told Humboldt Made it scored lower in that interview because there was no prepared presentation and he

later called Holmlund.

“I got with Rob on the phone and said, ‘Come on, level the playing field here. We want another shot at this. We want the opportunity to create a PowerPoint and present it to the panel,’” Banducci recalled.

“Lane looks sick, Rob looks right at Lane, Lane looks at Rob and there’s this long silence.”

“That’s how the second round of interviews came about. Staff fucked up. They didn’t give us the criteria for the interview, which is why they set up the second interview.”

Sparks confirmed that due to information “not being communicated clearly,” Humboldt Made hadn’t come to the first interview with a prepared presentation, as the other firms had.

“That’s why we did a second round of interviews, because of that miscommunication,” he said. “That was the main purpose for that second round.”

But that’s not what staff presented to the council at the May 21 meeting, when Millar told the council there was a feeling on the panel that they needed more time speaking with Eddy Alexander and that city staff felt the panel needed a clearer criteria under which to score the candidates, to “give a more unbiased answer to who was the better one.”

Sparks said for the May 8 interviews each group was given an hour and asked to answer a list of questions. Humboldt Made was allowed to begin its interview with a 15-minute presentation, and Sparks said the panel spent those 15 minutes with “additional Q&A” with Eddy Alexander. While the first interview reportedly ended with the panel narrowly voting in favor of Eddy Alexander, that outcome flipped after the

Summer time and the market is hot! second interview by a narrow margin, with the Virginia firm trailing Humboldt Made by just 30 points out of more than 1,500. Some questioned whether that was in part due to the questions asked during the second interview, which they argued seemed to skew local, with seven of the 14 questions focusing on things like the firms’ ability to work with and general “compatiblity” with city staff, their “genuine heart” for the project and whether the firm “easily and efficiently collaborate swith the city’s partner organizations and private businesses.”

In an interview with the Journal, Eddy Alexander co-founder Jennifer Eddy and tourism and marketing lead Bob Gilbert largely declined to discuss how this process played out with the city of Eureka.

“We do what we believe is the right thing to do, which is to follow the guideliens we are given, and we hope everyone else does the same,” Gilbert said. “But we can’t control everyone else. We can control us, and we will continue to follow the guidelines.”

At its May 21 meeting, amid the

frustration, controversy and friction of the evening, council members made one thing very clear: They believed the city had two strong marketing proposals in front of it.

On the one hand, there was the local outfit Humboldt Made, which has a finger firmly on the pulse of the local community and a proven track record, in the city’s eyes, having received rave reviews for its work on the Eureka Vistiors Center, the new Friday Night Markets and a host of other events.

Powell and Banducci believed the organization, if given a chance, was uniquely situated to push that into another realm, with a host of talented locals standing behind it, ready to put their hearts and souls into the effort.

On the other hand was the nationally acclaimed firm Eddy Alexander that boasts having worked with brands like Disney, Google Build to and edgeBest of theWestern. documentIt doesn’t know

too much about Eureka yet, but Eddy and Gilbert say they are excited to learn more.

And, more than anything, they’re confident they have the know-how, experience and formula to help Eureka identify the types of tourists who will thrive here and develop an authentic message to get them here, all while helping Eureka develop the tools to make sure those folks have a wonderful experience once they get here.

On paper in their proposals, both made compelling cases that won over swaths of the local community in a process that has now left folks in both camps aggrieved and distrustful. The question now is whether the high-powered marketing firm the city has selected for this community rebranding effort can get the buy-in needed to fulfill its promise and work with Humboldt Made — its battered and embittered rival through the proposal process — through the visitors center.

Reached May 31, days prior to the council’s closed session votes, and briefed on what the Journal had learned in advance of the June 4 meeting, Bergel indicated she was frustrated, confused about how she seemingly got incorrect answers to very direct questions posed at the May 21 meeting. She also indicated she was saddened that a process that should have been invigorating had been tarnished. She said she still felt like the council had two very good proposals before it, no matter the process was to bring.

“It’s ugly,” she said. “It’s a real bummer.

This was something that was supposed to be fun and was really about bringing our community together. My hope is that in the end, we’ll get there. But I think we’re going to have to walk through some stuff together first.” l Thadeus Greenson is the Journal’s news editor. Reach him at 442-1400, extension 321, or thad@northcoastjournal.com.

pring has always meant peas throughout my life, both in Italy and in California. What has changed over time is my attitude, going from “oh, no!” to “yeah!”

The peas I knew in Italy were shelling peas — also known as English peas, garden peas and a few other names — small green globes that you pry out of plump pods. The scientific name is Pisum sativum, in which sativum means “cultivated.”

Shelling peas was a task assigned to me as a child and I resented it because I did not like peas. Fortunately, in my mid-teens, my taste changed and from then on I gladly ate the peas my mother cooked.

And shelling them for her was no longer a burden.

After I moved to California, the world of peas expanded to include first snow peas (Pisum sativum var. saccharatum) and then sugar snap peas (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon), which share the characteristic of an edible pod, flat and plump, respectively.

Wondering about the origin of sugar snap peas, I read the following on the Johnny’s Selected Seeds website: “Though there were commercial varieties as far back as the 1880s, [snap peas] disappeared from the seed trade, and by the 1970s, there were no snap peas being sold commercially.” Enter pea breeders Calvin Lam-

born and MC Parker of Twin Falls, Idaho, “who brought us the new variety ‘Sugar Snap.’ Upon introduction in 1979, this cross between a snow pea and a mutant shell pea … earned immediate recognition as an All-America Selections winner.”

Sugar snap peas remind us about seasonality. Now is the time to get them and feast on their sweet, crunchy pods.

At the farmers market you can also find freshly harvested sweet onions, a welcome change after several months of storage onions. Add some pancetta and pine nuts or sliced almonds and you will have a side dish that comes together quickly and speaks of spring. Enjoy it now — summer is just around the corner.

Sugar Snap Peas with Pancetta and Sliced Almonds Serves 3 to 4.

Ingredients: 1 pound sugar snap peas 2 tablespoons pine nuts or 3 tablespoons sliced almonds 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 ounce pancetta, diced small (from a thick slice) 4 ounces fresh sweet onion, diced small

2 garlic cloves, minced ½ teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Cut the stem ends of the sugar snap peas and pull away the string on the concave side of the pods.

Toast the pine nuts or almonds in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes, paying close attention so they don’t burn. Set them aside.

Warm up a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl it around to coat the pan.

Add the pancetta and cook it over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add the onion and let it cook gently for 4 minutes, stirring often. Repeat with the garlic for 1 minute.

Turn up the heat to medium high and add the sugar snap peas. Stir well. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring often. Adjust the heat level so the peas sizzle gently.

When the snap peas are ready, sprinkled the salt and the black pepper and stir well. Finally add the pine nuts or almonds.

Stir well and take the skillet off the heat.

O

n Nov. 10, 1924, the Pacific Lumber Co. began secretly logging its timberland near the mouth of the South Fork Eel River. The plan was to cut a right-of-way through the forest that would allow the company to reach Bull Creek Flat, about a mile away, and then level thousands of acres of old growth redwoods.

Two weeks later, Laura Perrott Mahan, part of a ranching family from Table Bluff and president of the Women’s Save the Redwoods League of Humboldt County, drove down to the South Fork with her husband, James, saw the devastation and alerted the Eureka newspapers. Within days a unanimous Humboldt County Board of Supervisors threatened to condemn Pacific Lumber’s tract of timber. The logging ceased. Permanently. Seven years and several million dollars later, the Bull Creek and Dyerville flats became a part of Humboldt Redwoods State Park, the largest tract of old growth redwoods to be found anywhere on the planet.

Credit for protecting the flats usually focuses on the San Francisco-based Save the Redwoods League, which started as a collection of wealthy and influential men who could walk the corridors of power and easily gain admission to the citadels of government and business. Now, however, comes another side of the story, told with detail and passion by Laura and James Wasserman. (Full disclosure: I advised the Wassermans regarding research for their book.)

Like the movement to save the redwoods itself, the Wassermans begin slowly with the story of human interaction with the trees. By chapter two, however, the narrative hums with urgency as both locals and Bay Area activists view the destruction along the new Redwood Highway and act to stop it. The center of my copy bulges with sticky notes where the Wassermans interlace dozens of telling quotes with a compelling summary of the movement’s “crisis period” during the 1920s and early 1930s.

The book traces the development of the grassroots effort to protect the North Coast redwoods, emphasizing the leadership of Laura Mahan but also acquainting us with other members of the Women’s Save the Redwoods League of Humboldt County, including Ella Georgeson, the wife of a former Eureka mayor, and Kate Harpst and Mary Ann Atkinson, whose husbands both owned redwood mills. The Wassermans also describe how the local women helped expand the movement so it involved both the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and the Garden Club of America, two nationwide organizations that rallied the voices (and pocketbooks) of thousands of women throughout the country. As the book’s subtitle indicates, these women were “the unsung heroines of the 1920s,” but thanks to the Wassermans, their praises are finally being sung. l Laura and James Wasserman will be at the Clarke Museum on Friday, June 7, from 5 to 8 p.m. for a book signing, and on Saturday, June 8 for a book talk at 1 p.m.

hen I was 23 I arrived at the same correctional facility that my father was sent to a week before his high school graduation in 1972.

This would be a recurring theme in my life, repeating the timeline of my father’s experiences. Rehabs, jails, overdoses, best friends dying young, drug psychosis, dysfunctional family split-ups and ditching town after town because we had worn out our welcome. The biggest difference between us, other than my multi-ethnic background, was my interest in education.

Neither of my parents graduated high school, my father for reasons above. My mother moved to the states from Japan when she was 12 and never quite fit in with her peers. She first lived in southern Georgia, where calling any Asian person a “dirty Jap” was common even if they were also American. I was told this in my pre-teen years, around the time my father was misdiagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease, leading him to have a mental breakdown and disappear from the family indefinitely. These events, among others, affected my psyche and I held an angry chip on my shoulder for many years. Family dysfunction allowed me freedom when I was younger and introduced me to a criminal lifestyle early, since I had relatives involved with gangs and heavy drug dealing.

I was never a criminal mastermind — far from it.

I was an opportunist who was addicted to heroin as a teenager and who hung around in circles with older people doing the same things.

When it wasn’t a needle full of dope, I found escape in literature and poetry. I’ve kept a journal ever since I learned how to write and it made sense of the chaos I was living in. This interest allowed me to keep one foot in with school while the other was dangling out of a boxcar or dragging through community service with other juvenile delinquents. This created somewhat of a problem though — friends at school who were studying for the SATs (and not stealing catalytic converters in the middle of the night with a hand saw) looked at me as quite the outsider. Equally, the people I would drive around (without a license) to deliver dope sacks in south Sacramento never wanted to hear me talk about how poetry was going to save the world. I’m still optimistic about this last part.

I don’t know how many classes I missed in the beginning of my college career because I was in jail or rehab, but I do know I maintained good standing with my journalism and creative writing professors, for the most part. The ability to express myself through stories kept me from dropping out. School isn’t for everybody and many of my friends are doing great without a degree, but I always believed it was going to propel me to something more.

Instead I found myself at 23 inside a correctional facility, staring down a seven-year prison sentence and wondering if my father had slept on the same bunk I was assigned to. After a couple of months, I discovered other people inside were making plans for when they would return to prison after they were released. They were thinking about getting set up in prison once they were arrested again, as if it was the inevitable. It was at that moment I decided I was done with how I was living and would not return, even if it took me all seven years to work on it.

I didn’t blame other inmates for thinking they would return; the system is set up that way and I would often count down the days when I would find myself back on 8th floor lockdown in Sacramento County Jail. The system releases you with a felony, which is an sentence of its own, a stigma, an excuse for people to treat you as someone lesser.

I didn’t promise myself I was going to save the world or anything, but I did become aware that the system I was a part of, wanted to keep me within it. It was branding me a criminal forever and making it harder for me to live life outside.

I eventually beat my case on a technicality — you’d have to ask my lawyer because I can’t explain it. Instead of seven years locked up, I was charged with a couple of felonies, given a suspended prison sentence and a few more months of incarceration. I moved into a halfway house at the end of 2014, got sober and started volunteering at food banks and a homeless housing project. I also helped bring AA meetings into places like Napa State Prison Hospital and in 2015 re-enrolled at a junior college in a new town.

Eventually, I was able to transfer to a four-year college and found myself here, a student at Humboldt State University .

I believe we need a new criminal justice system that isn’t racially charged and class motivated, setting up certain people to go to prison indefinitely. But, until then, we need more reentry programs and resources for those who have been swept into the system. There were no resources for formerly incarcerated students at HSU and the club that existed 20 years ago was gone. Since last semester I have been working on starting a club not only for formerly incarcerated students to have a safe space and resources, but for those who want to help bridge the gap between incarceration and education.

As the great poet and Zen Buddhist Gary Snyder said, “Three-fourths of philosophy and literature is the talk of people trying to convince themselves that they really like the cage they were tricked into entering.” We can work in the last fourth and, once people are released, set them up for success, not failure. l

THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY NIGHTS in the basement of the jacoby storehouse

780 7th st. ARCATA

ell, I made it home. And after 1,700 miles on a circuitous route from here to Escondido and back, I can now say with some authority that anyone who lives south of Willits is completely out of their mind. I did manage to enjoy myself a bit, however. Sleeping in the band room of the Los Angeles headquarters of the band PRESENT was pretty damn nice after an evening of tequila, fried crickets and ratchet music with friends. Ventura also made a good impression. Anyone born in the ’80s will remember those cheap muscle man action figures that looked vaguely like Hulk Hogan but bore a generic name on the packaging like “USA Man.” Well, that’s the city of Ventura, if that makes any sense. A fun and blurry replica of a larger dream.

Anyway, right now I’m gearing up for summer and listening to one of the few pieces of music that can produce goosebumps and/or tears for me: “The Lark Ascending” by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Give it a spin on this build-up to the solstice.

You won’t be disappointed.

Have a magical week.

Thursday Breakfast Served all day Coffee & Espresso Lunch & Specialty Dishes

It’s the second Thursday of the month and do you know what that means? It means you can visit Gallagher’s Irish Pub after 6 p.m. to catch Mssrs. Zwerdling, Romano, Dayvid and Morden — known in tandem as The Gatehouse Well — as they ply their considerable talents in the service of Celtic folk music (free). And with a new album due later this month, this is the perfect time to enjoy the musical splendor of this talented quartet.

Side Iron is throwing a record release party at the Siren’s Song tonight at 7 p.m. and you’re all invited. I hear tell there will be a limited run of 7-inch picture discs for sale so maybe marinate on that for a hot minute. Along for the fun tonight on this somewhat stochastic bill of fare are ace rock ‘n‘ rolla weirdos Strix Vega and the gritty and just plain filthy hoedown-ing fellas in Bow-Legged Buzzards. The price of admittance is only $5 — less than four British Pounds Sterling which, on the eve of the asinine double whammy of the coming Trump Mexico tariffs and Brexit, is still quite a steal.

Saturday

Fantastic local early 20th century jazz and parlor band Belles of the Levee are back as a trio. Tonight, 7:30 p.m. at the Westhaven Center for the Arts you can join Nola Victrola and Bev Twist as they are accompanied on guitar by none other than Ryan Roberts from Absynth Quartet.

Admission is $7-$20 sliding scale and there will be refreshments available to augment your listening pleasure.

asunder through disagreements over our deeply stupid American politics. Anyway, the folk music of the Balkan states is exotic and lovely, and Blato Zlato — Bulgarian for “swamp gold” — is well equipped to deliver the goods and then some. Expect some energetic and banging near-Eastern folk music from the Deep South when the band strikes up a chord at the Sanctuary tonight at 7:30 p.m. ($10-$25 suggested donation).

Sunday

Wednesday

The Arcata Playhouse is finishing its season with a bang in the form of the Bay Area’s turbo-charged acoustic sextet Supermule at 8 p.m. ($18, $16 members and students). Born out of the San Francisco folk and bluegrass scene, this eclectic group of top players — featuring former Humboldt citizen Mike Emerson on keys — is known for unpredictable and virtuosic playing with a group dynamic forged with the twin virtues of cohesion and experimentation. The band is coming through town on a tour promoting its latest release Pretty Little Birds. It’s good high-octane Americana, folks.

Monday

It’s the second Monday of the month, which, apart from signifying that we have exactly 11 more days until the summer solstice, also means there’s a group singing workshop at the Sanctuary at 8:30 p.m. Led

by Theresa Horan-Sapunar, this song circle is a safe space to practice various song cycles and chants from across the human experience. Bring the kids if they are willing to sing along or remain otherwise agreeable (price TBA).

Tuesday

Blato Zlato is a New Orleans band that specializes in Balkan music, which seems apropos in these highly balkanized times, when once-friendly neighborhoods are rent

Vancouver, British Columbia, is known for many things. The gorgeousness of Stanley Park with its proximity to a very clean downtown. The beaches and well-appointed homes of the peninsular neighborhood of Kitsilano. The town even hosted me for a while before 9/11, when I escaped America to run away from the nascent stupidity of the early days of the George W. Bush administration. And even though the execrable music of Nickelback drove me back to these troubled states (I’m not joking), I still have a soft spot for my former Canadian home. I can scratch that itch tonight at the Siren’s Song with the ghoulish boogie-sounds of Vancouver’s own native monsters Zombie Cookout at 8 p.m. (price TBA). Piggybacking onto this bony fiesta of gore is our very own local low-tide treasure Sue and the Namies. So, as the Harry Belafonte song goes: “Back to back, belly to belly/ I don’t give a damn, I done dead already/O-ho back to back, belly to belly/ At the Zombie Jamboree.” l Full show listings in the Journal’s Music and More grid, the Calendar and online.

Five WWII bombers and fighter planes on loan from the Collings Foundation, a nonprofit educational foundation interested in preserving WWII aviation history, are stopping on their Wings of Freedom Tour at the California Redwood Coast – Humboldt County Airport on June 10-12.

The B-17G Flying Fortress Nine-0-Nine, B-24 Liberator Witchcraft, P-51 Mustang Lady and a B-25 Mitchell and a P-40 Trainer Pursuit Warhawk will be at the airport June 10 from 1 to 5 p.m., June 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and June 12 from 9 a.m. to noon to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. History buffs, aviation nuts and those curious about what it must have been like to fly in one of the storied planes are in for a treat. Viewing the planes and historic displays and souvenirs is free, and tours of the aircraft are available ($15, $5 children, $2 children on school tours). Tours are free for all walking WWII veterans.

If you’ve got the courage, curiosity and cash, you can fly in one of the planes on a bomber mission. (Your dad called. Father’s Day is coming up.) All flights are a tax-deductible donation to the Collings Foundation. Call for pricing and to schedule a flight 1-800-568-8024 or 1-978-562-9182 (10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST) or book online at www.cfdn.org.

Reviews

ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE. It can be challenging for me to find an entry point with romantic comedies. Not that I dislike them (though to be honest I would most of the time select something else) but by and large the genre leans on the acceptance of a certain level of earnestness, a borderline maudlin sense that love will conquer all.

And I think it is in that lack of surprise, that hopeful predictability, that the genre tends to lose me. So when I learned that the movie Ali Wong (O, Ali Wong!) and Randall Park (O, Randall Park!) had been developing for Netflix would, in fact, be a romantic comedy, my enthusiasm was somewhat tempered — still there, just a little more tentative.

As most within earshot are aware, I revere Wong for her tiny, towering, womanon-fire stand-up comedy. She tells it like it is and then some, wrecking shop with her filthy, fearless, elegantly constructed observations on modern life as we know it, from childbirth to graphing calculators.

And I understand that her on-stage persona is just that: a character, a construct, an amplified delivery system for material that requires it. I also get that it would be difficult to contain that persona within the frame of a narrative movie that anybody could actually get through. Still, because I so love her in that guise, I was a little concerned about her transition to a lead role that wouldn’t let her riff at length and in great detail on her disgust at coworkers’ bowel movements.

About Park I was a little less reticent.

He has proven, over a gradually building decade-and-a-half career as a character actor, with his deadpan and perfect timing, that he can support just about anybody in a comedy. More to the point, he should have been starring in movies well before now.

So if it had to be a romantic comedy, at least I had these leads, despite some reservations. The fact that they co-wrote the screenplay (with Michael Golamco) also provided some reassurance. And while the results of their collaboration might hew closer to the conventional than I would have hoped, Always Be My Maybe is a success for hitting the right notes of an acces-

sible romantic comedy while also honoring the eccentricities of its star/writers.

Sasha Tran (Wong) and Marcus Kim (Park) grew up next door to each in row-house San Francisco, she the latch-key kid of shop owners consumed by their business, he the center of a family founded on hearth and home. The Kims become Sasha’s surrogate family, and she and Marcus inseparable.

As high school draws to its close, the two insulate themselves from tragedy by having sex with each other, each for the first time. Inevitably, it complicates their relationship and they drift apart.

Fifteen years later, Sasha is a celebrity chef with a booming Los Angeles hotspot. She’s preparing to move back to San Francisco temporarily to open a new restaurant when her fiancé and business partner Brandon (Daniel Dae Kim) announces they should postpone their engagement while he jets off to India with José Andrés. And, oh yeah, they should see other people.

Meanwhile, Marcus works with his dad in the family heating and air conditioning company, smokes weed, dances in front of his mirror and performs dive-bar gigs with his band, which has more promise than he’d like to admit.

Thanks to some skillful subterfuge on the part of Sasha’s assistant — and longtime friend of our protagonists — Veronica (Michelle Buteau), Sasha and Marcus are awkwardly reintroduced. They begin spending time together and the cloying traps of the typical “will they or won’t they” story arc are, for the most part, neatly avoided. Well, not entirely but I guess that’s kind of the point.

Always Be My Maybe is resolute in its commitment to the genre, and while it’s not the vehicle I might have selected for these leads, the movie brings enough of their unique charm and chemistry to bear that I better understand what makes people love romantic comedies. Plus the soundtrack burbles with Bay Area hip-hop, Lyrics Born has a small role as one of Marcus’ bandmates and Dan “The Automator” Nakamura produced the original songs on the soundtrack (all indie hip-hop nerd stuff that makes me glance wistfully at my record cabinet).

NCJ

Keanu Reeves, the greatest North American box office draw of the ’90s and early 2000s, is Asian. Always Be My Maybe There’s also a cameo in the second act that will go down in the books as an all-timer and a brief scene wherein Marcus tries to act like a boss at the Tom Ford store that should spawn a thousand memes.

L

ast week, we looked at the difference between “terraforming-lite,” warming Mars to the point where it has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and liquid water oceans, and “full terraforming,” where it has an atmosphere with sufficient oxygen (and minimal CO2) that humans and animals can breathe.

Because we can do a whole lot on Mars well before we’ve achieved a breathable atmosphere, neither 1,000 years nor 100,000 years will be a deal-breaker for those of us who dream of human colonization. A thick CO2 atmosphere will shield humans from the most harmful radiation, liquid water will allow crop cultivation (in greenhouses until it gets warm enough) and, free from bulky pressure suits, explorers will be able to move around easily and naturally in Mars’ 38 percent Earth-gravity.

I’ve made this sound far too easy, of course, the Elon Musk “C’mon guys, how hard can it be?” approach. It’s going to be incredibly tough, perhaps impossible, to colonize the planet successfully.

(Even landing there is a major challenge: We have a 40 percent success rate at this point.) Carbon dioxide may be more of a problem than I’ve breezily said. For instance, if the south polar cap doesn’t contain as much CO2 as we hope, we’re going to have to rely on abundant carbon dioxide as permafrost near the surface.

And if that doesn’t pan out, we’ll have to extract it from carbonate rocks, a much tougher proposition.

Also, the low gravity will make it virtually impossible for humans to return to Earth after a long sojourn. (I’m a fan of one-way missions — like life.) A thousand

potential challenges and problems loom, some obvious, like radiation, fresh food, medical emergencies, loneliness and stir-craziness. Others we can’t possibly predict before they arise.

And — the biggest wild card — what happens if we find living organisms on Mars when we recover cores from a few feet below the surface? Most planetary scientists and exobiologists assume that, if there ever was once life on Mars, it’s long extinct. But suppose we do find life and determine it’s not “ours,” that is, derived from a common ancestor (see “Looking for Aliens,” March 1, 2019). We’d have to think long and hard about making Mars habitable for humans if, in doing so, we’d kill off whatever life is there now. (Although given our kind’s historical approach to colonization, the “leave the hell alone” option may not be likely.)

Meanwhile, with some decent luck and not finding “second genesis” life there, the challenge posed by Mars is intriguing, if for no other reason than to help soften our differences here on Earth. Terraforming and colonizing the planet isn’t something that could be undertaken by a single nation — it’s going to take an unprecented international effort. If ever a project was worth combining the skills and innovation of all the nations of the world in a cooperative venture, going to Mars “in perfect harmony” is it. ● Barry Evans (barryevans9@yahoo. com) notes the word “terraforming” originated, fittingly, in Astounding Science Fiction magazine in the 1942 short story “Collision Orbit” by Jack Williamson.

(This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in Cali− fornia law.

If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE−154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Free Will Astrology Week of May 23, 2019

By Rob Brezsny

Homework: Make up a secret identity for yourself. What is it? How do you use it? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com

freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming weeks, I suspect you will have the wisdom to criticize yourself in constructive ways that will at least partially solve a long-standing problem.

Hallelujah! I bet you will also understand what to do to eliminate a bad habit by installing a good new habit. Please capitalize on that special knowledge! There’s one further capacity I suspect you’ll have: the saucy ingenuity necessary to alleviate a festering fear. Be audacious!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What standards might we use in evaluating levels of sexual satisfaction? One cruclal measure is the tenderness and respect that partners have for each other. Others include the ability to play and have fun, the freedom to express oneself uninhibitedly, the creative attention devoted to unpredictable foreplay, and the ability to experience fulfilling orgasms. How do you rate your own levels, Taurus? Wherever you may currently fall on the scale, the coming months will be a time when you can accomplish an upgrade. How? Read authors who specialize in the erotic arts. Talk to your partners with increased boldness and clarity.

While meditating, search for clues in the depths.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If there were a Hall of Fame for writers, Shakespeare might have been voted in first. His work is regarded as a pinnacle of intellectual brilliance. And yet here’s a fun fact: The Bard quoted well over a thousand passages from the Bible. Can you imagine a modern author being taken seriously by the literati if he or she frequently invoked such a fundamental religious text? I bring this to your attention so as to encourage you to be Shakespeare-like in the coming weeks. That is, be willing to draw equally from both intellectual and spiritual sources; be a deep thinker who communes with sacred truths; synergize the functions of your discerning mind and your devotional heart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty,” writes Cancerian author and entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss. He doesn’t do that himself, but rather is quite eager to harvest the perks of dwelling in uncertainty. I presume this aptitude has played a role in his huge success; his books have appeared on bestseller lists and his podcasts have been downloaded more than 300 million times. In telling you this, I’m not encouraging you to embrace the fertile power of uncertainty 24 hours a day and 365 days of every year.

But I am urging you to do just that for the next three weeks.

There’ll be big payoffs if you do, including rich teachings on the art of happiness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many eighteenth-century pirates were committed to democracy and equality among their ranks. The camaraderie and fairness and mutual respect that prevailed on pirate ships were markedly different from the oppressive conditions faced by sailors who worked for the navies of sovereign nations. The latter were often pressed into service against their will and had to struggle to collect meager salaries.

Tyrannical captains controlled all phases of their lives. I bring this to your attention, Leo, with the hope that it will inspire you to seek out alternative approaches to rigid and hierarchical systems. Gravitate toward generous organizations that offer you ample freedom and rich alliances. The time is right to ally yourself with emancipatory influences.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t wait around for fate to decide which decisions you should make and what directions you should go. Formulate those decisions yourself, with your willpower fully engaged. Never say, “If it’s meant to be, it will happen.” Rather, resolve to create the outcomes you strongly desire to happen. Do you understand how important this is?

You shouldn’t allow anyone else to frame your important questions and define the nature of your problems; you’ve got to do the framing and defining yourself. One more thing:

don’t fantasize about the arrival of the “perfect moment.” The perfect moment is whenever you decree it is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks, I hope you’ll regularly give yourself to generous, expansive experiences.

I hope you’ll think big, funny thoughts and feel spacious, experimental emotions. I hope you’ll get luxurious glimpses of the promise your future holds, and I hope you’ll visualize yourself embarking on adventures and projects you’ve been too timid or worried to consider before now. For best results, be eager to utter the word “MORE!” as you meditate on the French phrase “joie de vivre” and the English phrase “a delight in being alive.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to Popular Mechanics magazine, over three million sunken ships are lying on the bottoms of the world’s oceans. Some of them contain billions of dollars’ worth of precious metals and jewels. Others are crammed with artifacts that would be of great value to historians and archaeologists. And here’s a crazy fact: fewer than one percent of all those potential treasures have been investigated by divers. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I hope it might inspire you to explore your inner world’s equivalent of lost or unknown riches. The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to go searching for them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Some days you need god’s grace,” writes poet Scherezade Siobhan. “On other days: the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire.” I’m guessing, Sagittarius, that these days you might be inclined to prefer the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire. But according to my astrological analysis, those flashy phenomena would not motivate you to take the corrective and adaptive measures you actually need. The grace of god—or whatever passes for the grace of god in your world—is the influence that will best help you accomplish what’s necessary. Fortunately, I suspect you know how to call on and make full use of that grace.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn poet William Stafford articulated some advice that I think you need to hear right now. Please hold it close to your awareness for the next 21 days. “Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk,” he wrote. “Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.” By practicing those protective measures, Capricorn, you will foster and safeguard your mental health. Now here’s another gift from Stafford: “Things you know before you hear them—those are you, those are why you are in the world.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Love is an immoderate thing / And can never be content,” declared poet W. B. Yeats. To provide you with an accurate horoscope, I’ll have to argue with that idea a bit. From what I can determine, love will indeed be immoderate in your vicinity during the coming weeks.

On the other hand, it’s likely to bring you a high degree of contentment—as long as you’re willing to play along with its immoderateness. Here’s another fun prediction: I suspect that love’s immoderateness, even as it brings you satisfaction, will also inspire you to ask for more from love and expand your capacity for love. And that could lead to even further immoderate and interesting experiments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will know you are in sweet alignment with cosmic forces if you have an impulse to try a rash adventure, but decide instead to work on fixing a misunderstanding with an ally. You can be sure you’re acting in accordance with your true intuition if you feel an itch to break stuff, but instead channel your fierce energy into improving conditions at your job. You will be in tune with your soul’s code if you start fantasizing about quitting what you’ve been working on so hard, but instead sit down and give yourself a pep talk to reinvigorate your devotion and commitment. l
